back with another comment - i don't think a diag report is needed here as this is more aesthetic on the new feature

the new privacy toggle is a great idea and i love it - that being said, it's a bit useless in its current iteration for two reasons:

• visual obfuscation is easy to deconstruct, even just visually if you know what icons look like, but moreso with an actual tool

• IPs are not obfuscated. Only ports should be visible ideally, or perhaps add the option to select what we want blocked:

  • container IPs

  • local IPs

  • ports

Ill look at improving this feature, thanks.

I See no Option to disable the Webui, Console, ... Icons on the Dashboard.

The Size Allocation is not correct. So we have Names that bigger than the Folderfield.

The Settings Widget is overlap the Folder and not out of them.

I don't know that the missed Folder Icon ... its correct or a Bug.

When batch updating containers from folder by clicking the "apply update" button, the popup that shows the status say's "Updating $1 folder containers - In Progress".

FolderView Plus 2026.05.27.01 Stable Release

A new stable update for FolderView Plus is available.

This release promotes everything tested on dev since the last stable main release, 2026.04.17.04. It includes new Docker/Dashboard features, privacy controls, native Docker Organizer compatibility, Settings recovery improvements, and several fixes based on recent user reports.

Install/update URL:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alexphillips-dev/FolderView-Plus/main/folderview.plus.plg

Highlights

- Added advanced Dashboard member previews for Docker folders, including WebUI, console, logs, update state, ports, volumes, and CPU/MEM graph details.

- Added granular privacy masking controls and synchronized the Docker/VM privacy toolbar with saved mask settings.

- Added best-effort sync support for Unraid’s native Docker Organizer, including manual sync controls and diagnostics reporting.

- Folder names can now use special characters that were previously blocked by overly strict validation.

Docker Fixes

- Fixed Docker folder batch-update dialog titles so localized $1 placeholders are replaced correctly.

- Fixed stale Docker folder update indicators after bulk updates. Folder rows now keep polling live Docker update state until Unraid reports the final up-to-date result.

- Fixed Docker preview Hide status so it removes stale status badges across compact cards, live refreshes, and legacy values like hide, off, false, and 0.

- Restored full-width Docker folder preview borders after the preview layout adjustments.

- Hardened Docker preview action rendering so shared utility helpers are available before folder previews render.

- Improved Docker runtime diagnostics and support bundle data for update-state troubleshooting.

Dashboard Fixes and Improvements

- Improved Dashboard quick actions, card layout, runtime hardening, and preview graph cleanup.

- Dashboard folder cards should stay better aligned and responsive.

- Added Dashboard advanced-preview coverage for runtime actions and Docker member details.

Settings Fixes

- Fixed Settings blank-page and bootstrap failures by adding early diagnostics fallbacks.

- Scoped Settings registries to prevent browser bootstrap identifier collisions.

- Added a Settings blank-page watchdog that reports useful diagnostics instead of leaving the page empty.

- Kept Settings visible when the first-run setup assistant fails to render, with degraded diagnostics instead of a blank page.

- Added Settings search aliases for recent support topics, including:

- hide status

- WebUI / console / logs

- native organizer

- dashboard preview icons

- diagnostics

- bulk apply update

e for everyone following this thread.
This build includes major functionality upgrades, mig

Is there a setting to disable compact mode on the docker menu on the dashboard? I can manually disable it but when the page refreshes it automatically enabled again.

I had to uninstall my long running folderview for troubleshooting things and I can´t find my Backup. So running it from scratch now and I am a little bit confused:

I created one docker folder and put dockers in it. So how to create other docker folders now? Buttons gone after the first folder

Its easiest to click the docker tab and create the folder there. This is the Wizard that assists with creating folders from a brand new setup, but you dont have to use it, you can skip this if you want.

FolderView Plus v2026.06.25.16 Released

A new stable release of FolderView Plus is available.

This release rolls up the recent dev builds into main and focuses heavily on nested folder previews, folder editor preview accuracy, Settings recovery, and release reliability.

Highlights

- Added collapsed Docker folder previews for child folders.

- Nested child folders can now appear in the collapsed preview when enabled on the visible/root folder.

- Added the new per-folder option: Show child folders in collapsed preview.

- Added child-folder preview depth limits so nested previews stay useful without overcrowding the Docker row.

- Nested preview chips now show breadcrumb tooltips and an Empty state when applicable.

- Added a right-click menu on nested folder preview chips with:

  - Expand to folder

  - Edit folder

  - Open folder actions

- Improved child-folder preview chip sizing so folder previews visually match normal Docker preview rows.

- Updated the folder editor Live folder preview so it now uses the same child-folder preview data as the Docker page.

- Added a shared folder preview model so Docker collapsed previews and editor live previews resolve folder names, icons, counts, and breadcrumbs consistently.

Fixes

- Fixed the Settings blank-page failure path by adding recovery diagnostics and keeping Settings visible when setup assistant rendering fails.

- Fixed the modern Docker folder editor so the child-folder preview option appears in the Preview tab.

- Fixed live folder preview child-folder samples so they refresh after folder data loads.

- Fixed nested folder preview expansion so descendant preview chips open the correct folder branch.

- Fixed Open folder actions from nested preview chips so the menu opens at the target folder instead of the page corner.

- Fixed awkward spacing in the nested folder preview right-click menu.

Screenshots

Testing Notes

After updating, please hard refresh the Docker page and check:

- Existing folders still render normally.

- Collapsed folder previews still show Docker containers as expected.

- Child-folder previews appear only where enabled.

- Nested preview chips expand to the correct folder.

- Right-click actions on nested preview chips work.

- The folder editor Live folder preview matches what you see on the Docker page.

Please report any issues with screenshots and browser console errors if possible.

Is it possible to control the container start order with this plugin? I haven't been able to figure it out and it doesn't seem like the order of the folders has any control over it and the built-in method isn't available with it active.

Hi,

I came from the old folder view plugin and I did a backup or some kind of restore (couple of month ago so I don't remember in detail what I did...)

Now I do have my old folders in the app, but in the new FolderView Plus settings I can't seem to find anywhere to configure them (add/remove containers)

In Docker bulk assignment, it does show my existing folders but everything in it is unselected, even though containers are already showing up in the folder.

I have 0 autiomation rules and what not, the FVP config is untouched.

I wonder how I can fix this and if I'm in a somewhat incorrect state due to incorrect import.

You add and remove containers from inside the folder in the folder editor.

Docker tab -> click on the folder you want to edit -> Members tab -> add/remove/move Docker containers from there.

Let me look into this issue further.

FolderView Plus - Latest Release - v2026.07.01.10

This release focused heavily on making FolderView Plus easier to use, easier to understand, and faster to work with day-to-day. A lot of the work went into improving the new folder editor, making nested folders more useful directly from the Docker page, cleaning up confusing settings screens, improving the setup wizard for new users, and tightening up release/build reliability.

The goal was to reduce the amount of time users need to spend jumping back and forth between Docker and Settings while making the UI feel more polished and beginner-friendly.

Highlights

New Folder Editor Improvements

The folder editor received a large UI/UX pass across nearly every tab.

Changes include:

- Moved the folder editor tabs below the live preview so switching sections is easier to see.

- Removed the Basic / Advanced toggle and now shows all editor sections directly.

- Added clearer active tab styling so you can tell which tab you are currently editing.

- Improved the header layout with a more compact action area and larger folder title.

- Redesigned tab content sections to look cleaner and more consistent.

- Improved the General tab layout.

- Improved the Parent Folder selector so it is easier to understand where a folder lives.

- Improved the Icon module layout.

- Added a larger live selected-icon preview in the Icon module.

- Built-in icons now show by default when opening the editor so the module no longer looks empty.

- Improved Preview tab layout and spacing.

- Improved Status tab layout and removed awkward spacing.

- Improved Advanced tab layout so modules no longer waste horizontal space.

- Improved summary cards beside the live preview so they fit better with less empty space.

Nested Folder Preview Improvements

Nested folder previews are now much more useful.

Changes include:

- Added support for showing child folders inside a collapsed folder preview.

- Added support for previewing nested folders across multiple levels.

- Live folder preview now respects the child-folder preview setting.

- Live folder preview now shows the actual nested folder icon and name.

- Nested folder preview sizing was adjusted to visually match container previews.

- Added right-click actions for nested folder preview items.

Folder Management From Docker Page

This release adds more folder management directly on the Docker page so you do not need to jump into Settings as often.

New and improved actions include:

- Add a child folder directly from an existing folder menu.

- Move folder up from the Docker page.

- Move folder down from the Docker page.

- Move folder under another folder.

- Faster visual row updates after moving folders.

- Improved live reorder behavior so the Docker page updates without requiring a full hard refresh.

- Improved menu placement when actions are near the bottom of the page.

Member Reordering In Folder Editor

The Members tab now supports drag-and-drop reordering.

Changes include:

- Added drag handles for folder members.

- Dragging only starts from the handle, not the whole row.

- Fixed cursor behavior so rows no longer look draggable unless hovering the actual drag handle.

- Added a Folder Members section for child folders, allowing nested folder order to be managed separately from Docker/VM members.

Screenshot: Member drag-and-drop handles

Hover Animations

Folder icons can now have configurable hover animations from the folder editor.

Added hover animation options:

- None

- Bounce

- Grow

- Pulse

- Spin

- Tilt

- Wiggle

- Lift

The animations were tuned so each option feels more distinct instead of several options looking the same.

Preview Appearance Enhancements

The Preview tab received several new appearance options.

Changes include:

- Added Preview Border Glow.

- Border glow uses the same color as the selected preview border color.

- Border glow can only be enabled when the preview border is enabled.

- Cleaned up the Border Color controls so the color picker and numeric width field sit side by side.

- Reduced the border width input size since it only needs a small numeric value.
